Chapter 4. Your guy's reviews were awesome thanks :)
I'm trying to keep the facts as accurate as possible so if I make a mistake please point it out!
The 4 members from the East Blue couldn't help but smile proudly as they watched the next scene. After escaping Lougetown the Merry Go was sailing through the rain as each member put their foot on that barrel and made their pledge.
"Hey! why didn't WE do that when we entered the New World?" protested Franky
"That's so cool!" said Chopper all starry-eyed.
"I guess you guys weren't cool enough." Usopp said as he shook his head
"Hey, when we get out of this let's ask the captain if we could do that again." commented Sanji.
"Yeah that was fun!" said Nami
"We'd need a bigger barrel." commented Zoro
They all laughed at that. The scene changed to the Merry Go charging up Reverse Mountain.
"I heard that this was how ships from other seas got to the grand line, the mountain's bigger then i expected." analyzed Robin
"I'd rather be on a sea-stone coated navy paddle boat!" Usopp said "My stomach didn't catch up to me for 2 days!"
"I remember this mountain very well, It hasn't changed in 50 years. But we came from that side, the West Blue. Yohohoho! I lost my stomach too Usopp-san... but wait... I don't have a stomach anymore!" commented Brook. Something was bugging him about this mountain though... something important.
"Oh ya Brook isn't from the Grand Line is he?" Nami commented.
The ship was finally headed down the mountain now. The four knew what happened next, and felt happy for Brook.
The next scene was on the shore of Reverse Mountain, watching Luffy paint on Laboon. Obviously the first to react was Brook, realizing what had been bugging him.
"LABOON! LABOON! LOOK EVERYONE IT'S LABOON! HE'S HUGE!" Brook couldn't stop smiling, or yelling. "I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM IN 50 YEARS AND LOOK AT HIM NOW! LABOOOOOOON!" Brook ran over to Laboon, but sadly he passed through him.
"Can one of you guys explain why Luffy is painting on Brook's pet whale?" stated Franky. The other crew members from the Grand Line looked at the giant whale, now knowing what all the ruckus was about.
"Well we got eaten by that thing, then we got out, then Luffy promised to fight Laboon again if he stopped banging his head against the mountain." Zoro stated as he scratched his head.
Brook finally went back to the rest of the group when Laboon wouldn't respond to him. Brook started crying when he heard the old man's story.
"I'M ALIVE! I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU LABOON! I PROMISE!" Brook yelled to Laboon as the scene disappeared.
Back inside the white nothingness Brook feel to his knees.
"I will see Laboon again." Brook wiped his tears and stood back up.
"Atta boy Brook!" Ussop said as he patted Brooks back.
The scene changed again. They now were on Whiskey Peak, The first island on their adventure.
"Oy wait. I don't remember any of this! Why are you two fighting?" Sanji stated as they watched Zoro and Luffy fight.
"That idiot didn't know we were surrounded by bounty hunters!" Zoro retorted
"We were?" proclaimed Usopp and Sanji, the only explanation that they remember was being knocked out by Nami
"So this is how you guys met Vivi, wait does that mean IM NEXT?" Chopper announced excitedly
"Vivi?" wondered Franky and Brook
"She was a temporary nakama, I miss her!" cried Nami
"Yeah instead we got Robin." commented Zoro
"Shhh! Zoro! Don't spoil the ending!" said Usopp.
"This isn't a movie idiot!" said Sanji and he knocked Usopp on the head.
"Hey you two were drunk and asleep the whole time! No comments!" stated Nami
"I guess this counts as my big scene." stated Robin as she watched her self confront the straw hats.
"Robin was a bad guy too? I wonder what happened to get you guys from here to you declaring war on the world to save her." commented Franky
"Shhh! It's coming!" Usopp re-stated.
The scene shifted to the Merry Go docking on Drum Island.
"I knew it! It's my scene!" announced Chopper excitedly
"We skipped Little Garden, It was a prehistoric island where Nami got sick." mentioned Sanji "That's why we came to Drum, to find a doctor."
"It's because someone was wandering the jungle with skin exposed." giggled Chopper
"I always wondered what happened to get me to the top of that mountain." commented Nami after flashing an evil look at Chopper
"Now who was asleep the whole time?" Usopp smirked, which earned him another bump.
"Nami-swan, Robin-chwan you can finally see my heroics in action!" said Sanji all heart-eyed again.
They followed Luffy and Sanji up the mountain. Since only Nami, Sanji, Luffy and of course Chopper knew how Chopper joined. It would be a new experience for all of them.
Sanji's heroics were short lived. He was knocked out and injured in the avalanche.
"Well this is as far as I know. Next thing I remember is waking up on top of the mountain." Sanji stated
The crew just watched in awe as they saw Luffy climb Drum rock. Every two feet he climbed he slid back one, leaving a bloody trail with his fingers and toes.
"Luffy, did this for us?" Sanji said after a while of watching the scene
"I can't believe it." gasped Nami
"He was in pretty bad shape when he reached the top... some of those injuries make sense now." noted Chopper. There was a long pause...
"...Why didn't you guys just take the rope way?" asked Zoro
"IT WASN'T THERE YET!" Sanji and Nami snapped back
It was quiet again. There next scene was in Drum Castle. The crew watched as Luffy and Sanji chased Chopper around. They watched as Luffy defeated Wapol and sent him flying.
"Currently Ussop and Zoro are using the rope way..." said Usopp in his bull-horn voice, earning him another smack.
Chopper began to cry as he listened to Luffy's words again: "LET'S GO!"
The scene shifted back to the Merry Go, as the crew watched the "Sakura" bloom from the ship.
"It's beautiful, Chopper." said Robin
"sh...sh...yeah" Chopper was weeping now, being very grateful as he could once again see the Doctor's sakura.
The scene changed to Luffy being chased by Smoker through the Alabastan town of Nanohana.
"Alabasta huh? This brings back memories." Sanji stated.
"The good and the bad." Zoro replied, in his usual badass tone.
"Wait a minute this part is..." Nami remembered
"Yeah, when we first meet Luffy's brother." Chopper finished, as he said that Ace had suddenly appeared to save the crew from the marines.
"So this is Fire-Fist Ace." Franky responded. As he, Brook and Robin had never actually met him before. Just then Luffy had gotten lost in the streets of the city when Ace reappeared. It was a touching moment as the crew remembered what they had seen in Luffy's childhood.
"You know, we paid for that barrel of water." Nami commented as the brothers's arm wrestling contest finished.
"Oy Nami..." Usopp replied.
The crew then watched the almost comical scene as Luffy and Ace effortlessly dealt with the billions. The scene then passed more rapidly, like they had in the beginning, Bringing the smiles back to their faces as they watched their misadventures through the desert. Franky, Brook and Robin laughed along with them. Eventually they arrived to the point where Ace had to leave. He handed Luffy his vivre card, tipped his hat and left. The crew remained silent, knowing what would actually happen the next time they met.
"He seems like a good brother." Brook noted.
"I bet." Usopp responded.
The scene changed once again, It was sunset. A giant crab was scurrying away from an upside down Luffy who was yelling, saying he would be fine on his own. Zoro, Chopper, Usopp, Nami and Sanji remembered this quite well.
"What exactly happened after this to make those number agents claim Luffy was dead?" Usopp wondered out loud. The five remembering how the news had almost tore their heart out before remembering that they should never doubt their captain.
"What do you guys mean?" Franky asked
"Later when we were fighting the number agents, they claimed Luffy had died." Sanji answered.
"Well..." Robin started to say
"Oy Robin were you there?!" Nami asked
"Well she is standing right next to Crocodile here." Zoro pointed out
"When spiders catch a bug they first suck all the juices out leaving the corpse a dried out sack of skin and bones, if bugs had bones. So imagine Luffy as the bug and Crocodile as the Spider."
The crew was silent. Nami, Chopper and Usopp were huddled together scared out of their mind.
"I think I'm going to throw up." Brook said "But wait I don't have a stomach!"
"Brook, I don't see why your creeped out. You're even less than skin and bones, no skin." Usopp stated
"Yohohoho! Very true Usopp-san." Brook replied, sad about his failed skull joke.
"Oy Robin what is that supposed to mean? Could you have been any creepier?!" Zoro asked
"Well it did take Captian-san three tries to defeat Crocodile.." Robin recalled
They didn't ask anymore questions. The just watched as the fight played out, Luffy was fighting an uphill battle. But then something none of them had expected happened. Robin saved Luffy when he was left burried in the sand.
"Robin... why?" Nami asked
"I don't remember, I looked at the world very differently then. I did whatever." Robin remembered, Now very glad she had done it.
The scene changed to Luffy's final duel with Crocodile, the crew noted how Luffy was more prepared this time then the last.
"Well now we get to see Luffy kick Crocodile's ass." noted Zoro "This was something I've always wanted to see!"
The fight went on for a while, move after move. Eventually came the part where Crocodile asked Robin to translate the poneglyph. Sanji wished he was the one who kicked the guys ass for hurting a lady.
They watched Luffy's epic maneuver when he stomped Crocodile's hook to the ground with his foot. The scene became blurry but some things we still visible. Robin smiled as she watched her act of kindness towards Luffy by giving him the antidote. The scene was fully visible again. Even though Luffy had told the crew how he saved Robin, it was one thing to tell, another to see. A small tear rolled down Robin's cheek as she watched Luffy save her from suicide.
"And that's how Robin became a good guy." Sanji stated. Now upset that he wasn't the one to rescue the damsel in distress.
"Huh. You guys forgive people easily." Franky mentioned, but was still happy because the straw hats had forgiven him after all.
The scene changed again. They were back on the Merry Go. Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji and Luffy had their arms raised in the air, their backs turned to Alabasta. Displaying their X marks proudly to the nakama they left on the island. The four members were sniveling, and Zoro was just standing there trying to hide his emotions.
"VIVI!" they cried out. They missed their nakama but they knew she had a country to help run. They would see her again someday, they knew it.
"You guys really loved the princess huh." commented Robin, remembering she tried to kill her.
"Yes we did. Oy look this is when Robin joins!" Usopp said.
They watched Robin join...
"Wait that's it? You guys went so far as to steal my pants to get me to join, and Robin joins just like that?" commented Franky
"Yeah pretty much." Nami stated.
"So I guess we see either when a nakama joins or a big fight happens." Chopper mentioned as the scene faded to white
"Either way I am defiantly not losing respect for the captain. That Till is a shit-head." states Sanji
Everyone agreed. Their captain might be an idiot, but he's strong with a heart of gold.
ok so I've had some requests to make the chapters longer. I'm trying my hardest but I can't really work with long chapters, sorry :(
I'm going to keep this speed and amount of detail, everyone seems content with that compared to chapter 2
If you have a request for a scene that I've already passed, I am taking suggestions and will do a bonus chapter at the end!*
*note: Luffy has to be in the scene otherwise there's no point.
PLEASE REVIEW!
